What is testosterone?
Testosterone is the major male hormone in the body. It stimulates bone growth, is a major determinant of libido (sexual desire) and is responsible for secondary male sex characteristics such as facial hair, deep voice and fertility. Testosterone also regulates the prostate gland. The testicles secrete between 90 to 95 percent of the body’s testosterone. The remaining 5 to 10 percent is secreted by the adrenal glands, two small glands located on top of the kidneys.
